As an intelligence analyst for the Pennsylvania State Police, Tiffany is using her military and law enforcement background to protect our communities.
Tiffany is part of a team of intelligence analysts in the Pennsylvania Criminal Intelligence Center. They gather and analyze information from a wide variety of sources to help federal, state and local police anticipate, prevent, investigate and monitor criminal activity. Intelligence analysts work rotating shifts in a 24-hour law enforcement environment.
"I love the nature of intelligence work! You are continually learning new things in this ever-changing environment. It is very rewarding knowing I am performing an important role assisting law enforcement with helping to keep the public safe."
Intelligence analysts collect and organize raw data on individuals and activities; evaluate and compare the data to determine its meaning and relevance to criminal investigations and assessments; and present their conclusions and recommendations to support police awareness and decision-making.
Tiffany started her career in a juvenile probation agency. She then joined the Pennsylvania National Guard as a signals intelligence analyst. After the military, Tiffany worked briefly as a narcotics agent with the Attorney General's Office before an opportunity became available within the Pennsylvania State Police.
"I knew I wanted a career in law enforcement. My intelligence experience in the military and time as a narcotics agent helped pave the way into my current position working as an intelligence analyst in the Drug Analysis Unit."
